Analysis of complex structures has become increasingly important and impressive progress has been made over the last two decades. Thanks to the advent of computers and the development of different numerical modelling methods, engineers are capa- ble of designing more challenging buildings, such as Buji Khalifa, Taipei 101, Millau Viaduct and so on. have worked in both the industry and academia for many years and have noticed that many engineers lack knowledge of the theories and modelling techniques in anal-ysis of complex structures, as well as some special design problems such as vibration, fire, blast and progressive collapse. There is also a large knowledge gap for students,in addition to which most have difficulty designing and analysing real construction projects.

The motivation behind this book is to provide engineers with an understanding of the featured design problems for different types of structures, with an effective way to model these types of structures using conventional commercial software and with the theories and design principles that underpin the relevant analysis
While I worked in the advanced analysis team in the WSP group, I gained experi- ence in different kinds of structural analysis problems and modelled many complex structures, from tall buildings to long-span structures. I worked out many methods to effectively model them, using just continental analysis programs, and I feel it is necessary to share these methods with reader

While teaching at the University of Bradford and City University London, I started to teach my final year and Masters students how to model existing complex buildings around the world in their graduation projects, such as Buji Khalifa and the MillauViaduct. It is great to see that these have become the most popular projects. The stu-dents learnt both design principles and modelling methods through these projects.
Therefore, another objective of this book is to provide civil engineer students with detailed knowledge in design and analysis of complex structure
Thus, this book has been written to serve not only as a textbook for college and
university students, but also as a reference book for practising engineers. This book covers almost all the structural design problems an engineer may face, such as lateral stability analysis for tall buildings, earthquake analysis, progressive collapse analysis, structural fire analysis, blast analysis, vibration analysis, nonlinear geometric analy-sis and buckling analysis. Another feature of this book is that most of these analysis methods are demonstrated using existing prestigious projects around the world, such as Buji Khalifa, the Willis Towers, Taipei 101, the Gherkin, the Millennium Bridge, the Millau Viaduct, the Forth Bridge and so on. This is to help develop understanding of effective ways to model complex structures. In addition, this book also introduces the latest Building Information Modelling system, which is a new way forward in design and analysis of modern projects. The features of major commercial programs used in the industry are also introduced, which provides guidance for readers on the selection of analysis programs
